A keyword search for "dumpster diving" yields 15 results in your catalog. Empire of Scourge might make a nice warrant http://lccn.loc.gov/2005016303. While we're on the topic, related terms Freegans and Freeganism would also be most useful. I know you have documentation on those, courtesy of Sandy Berman.
The dumpster diving request is based on a minicomic I'm cataloging, Dirty Gurl Chronicles. By the time you read this, it will be in WorldCat and the Columbia Libraries catalog, CLIO.
Thanks!
